Day 5? Post op for acl, mcl meniscus.
The first three days were filled with life changing pain. Ended up locating a pain patch which I used in conjunction
with the prescribed pain meds. Spent lots of time puking. By day three I was so heavily medicated I was sure I had recovered and proceded outside to work in the yard, went to town, LOL my wife had a shit fit. Once the patch wore off I find myself actually sleeping and being still. Anyway today I see some progress in that I can find positions that are less painful. Watching netflix fell asleep trying to beet off. Fucking awesome. I hate being stuck inside on when the sun is shining but here we are.
What I accomplished today? Oh,,,, Nothing, Sorry

Do you think the patches made you puke or the combination of the pills and patches.

Its hard to say, I personally think It was the combination just keeping my level too high. but any less
was unbearable. Since the patch is gone there was no more puking
Ok thanks for sharing.
The reason I ask is, my wife is disabled and she has a 3 day patch but she gets to change it ever 2 days. Plus she gets tabs for break through pain, well she pukes way to much. I told her she was OD'ing but she just blames everything else .

Its gonna be hard to convince her if she really believes it. Honestly I became pretty hard to deal with but thought I was doing the right thing trying to be up and about. Anyway good luck

She's ODing. Chronic pain is handled differently than acute pain. First you get rid of all breakthrough meds. Then you move way down until you are able to not clench your teeth but you still hurt. You also take them on a schedule, never PRN (which means breakthrough), for those you use baths, showers, meditation, exercise. When you are in chronic pain you are going to have to be in it and find other ways of dealing. Believe it or not exercise works extremely well. You can not rely on opiates to do all the heavy lifting. So sorry you and your wife are dealing with this. It's hell.

Hey Man , It may be up to you to have a talk with her Dr. and let him know about the puking.. I've been where your wife is... Your brain makes up pain to get "relief".. It really sucks but I think she needs your help...

Got my teeth cleaned and then dropped of my boy Bear at the Vet to have lump removed from his shoulder. This is what Bear looked like an hour ago when I got the poor guy home

The Vet told me it was a pretty big lump. He wasn't sure about it so it's out for biopsy. :-(
I hope your puppy gets better.
Losing a pet is a major bummer.

Just gotta say, love the floor! I'm serious.
When I was single, my house looked exactly like yours -- only more cluttered.
There was a path through the debris.
It was unwise to stray from the path, especially without shoes. :o
